These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

The incompetent engineers at SpaceX who create aircraft that explode after takeoff are going to take control of the FAA to make aviation safer. Nothing to see. Everything is fine. GIRL, TAKE GREYHOUND!!!

Women couldn’t have their own credit until 1974. Marital rape became illegal nationwide in 1994. We are ONE generation into women having a CHANCE at life & it’s proved so intolerable America would rather end itself than allow such a thing to continue.

LGBTQIA minors make up 40% of the endangered minor runaway population. They are 120% more likely to be unhoused. They are also uniquely at risk for exploitation and trafficking. This is breathtakingly evil.

I don't expect every person I know to agree with me about politics or current events with the least they could do is not gaslight me about the fact that it's happening.

See now I’m starting to think that these people want a machine to summarize things for them because when a human does it, the human uses words like “no” and “that would hurt people” and “that’s illegal.”

Okay, this is pretty great. I didn’t realize how much friction it was to look up each phone number until this app had them ready to go, one after another. Plus it tells you how many other people used the app to call about the issue (14,700 on the federal funding freeze alone!)

This is beyond cruel. WIC feeds babies. You know, the ones they want women to be forced to have.

This is a great piece. "As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

it's also ok to be rude to people who don't want you to die but just want your life to be worse. the threshold of when it's ok to be rude is pretty low

Your annual reminder that Dr. King believed in guaranteed universal basic income that gave all people a dignified life, guaranteed housing for all, guaranteed access to a high quality education, and said that “no one should be forced to live in poverty while others live in luxury.”

I have an ominous feeling that the people currently saying “it’s not a Nazi salute” will soon be saying “it’s just a symbol from Hinduism.”

The best way to know if an author or artist you love is secretly a terrible person is... you can't. There are no magic tricks here. Awful people who successfully manage to be awful for years are good at hiding the fact they are awful. All the average person can do is deal on a case by case basis

All you post-hoc keyboard psychologists who think you can tell from a person's creative works that they're bad actors, shut your lying faces. I know we all have an impulse to make things about ourselves, but, really, this isn't the way. Just stop. There are other ways to grieve (yes, it's grief).

For everyone wanting to help people impacted by the fires in LA, or any disaster, remember that support will be just as much needed in 4 months from now. Just like in WNC, and Lahaina. The need lasts so much longer than the media attention.

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

While it is important to make sure folks understand that attacks on trans folks and their rights are the opening salvo to obliterating the rights of many other groups, it's also important to remember that if these attacks truly began and ended with trans folks alone, that would also NOT BE OKAY.

Ooh this looks fun! Plus being set at home adds to the delight, even if only to confirm that it was probably actually filmed in Vancouver and not here. youtu.be/1cRzZcMlJh8?...
